Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alrighty. I've been working on a story in my journal for the past two years. Yes, that's a long time. It's very simple in the beginning, I know. But please read the whole thing. It get's better. Promise. I'm open to constructive critisism, and I don't get put down by harsh words on my writing. I'll post the first few entries here. If anyone responds I'll continue posting them. If not, they're always in my journal. Feel free to take a look.

Second Entry.

I walk calmly, yet swiftly, down the street. They follow me for three blocks. I'd better give them the slip.
On the left, there is an alley. I dart in. I push myself against the wall. The aura I felt is drawing closer. I don't know why, but I feel terified.
A dark figure walked in front of my hiding place. It's a man. He has his back to me, thank God! He has black hair and a large black trenchcoat. Who is he?
He turned and looked down the alley. His eyes are peircingly black. I stared as he slowly searched the alley. OH God, he's gonna find me.

Fourth Entry.

"Don't worry. I'll catch her," he said calmly.

"YOU'D BETTER, YOU PIECE OF s**t!!!!!!!!" A slam came from the phone.
Whoever that was had hung up.

"Damn," he swore. He put the phone in his pocket and continued down the street.
I sighed. I have to alert the others. Someones after me. I ran down the street back toward the cafe.

Sixth Entry


"No. I haven't seen him since Friday after school. Why? What's happened?" As he said the last three words, he gripped my shoulders.

" I don't know," I told him." I was waiting for him at a cafe downtown for three hours. He said on the phone that he had something importent to tell me. He never showed up. A vampire did."

"WHAT????!!!!!! What do you mean a vampire??" He exclaimed. He gripped my shoulders tight.

"Ouch!! Relax. That hurts."I put my hands on his wrists, and his hands released. But he kept his hands on my shoulders, as if he was afraid to let go."As I was saying, the vampire chased me for about two blocks. I hid and heard him talk on the phone with his employer. The guy on the phone yelled at him because he wanted him to catch me. After that I ran here."

Yes. It's all in my journal. I'm still writing it currently, though I haven't posted the next part recently....

Seventh Entry

"It's a good thing you did. If anything happened to you...." he trailed off into silence. When I look at him, he blushes and turns away.

"Look. I don't want to cause you trouble, but I need to use your phone. I'm gonna call the Elders for their advice." I turn to go to the kitchen, and pull out of his grip.

Before I've gone two steps, Hisoka spins me around and pulls me into a gentle embrase.

"You could never cause me trouble, Kasumi. I'd help you even if it killed me." I wrap my arms behind him and put my head on his shoulder. I feel so safe with him. Why won't the Elders approve of us being together?



Eighth Entry

The phone rings.
Hisoka releases me and I jump away. What are we thinking? It's forbidden.

"You...you better answer that." I tell him, blushing.

"Yeah." He walks into the kitchen and picks up the phone.

" Hello? Yukito??!! Where the hell are you??!! Yeah, she called me looking for you." Hisoka winked at me. "She said you never showed at a cafe. Oh, and she said a vampire chased her. That's what she said. Why didn't you show? Fine, I'll see you Monday." Hisoka hangs up the phone. "Yukito asked about you."


Ninth Entry

"What did he say? Did he say why he didn't show?" I ask.

"Yeah. He said he had to leave town for a little while. He asked if I had heard from you. He told me he'd try callin you. He said he had a question to ask you." Hisoka leans on the wall and closes his eyes to think. I smile. He looks so cute like that. "I need to get on the internet and check something really quick. Call one of the Elders and ask for advise. If they say it's OK, I'll walk you home." Hisoka opens his eyes and walks off into his bedroom.

I move over to where Hisoka was just standing and take the phone off the hook. Right before I dial the number, my cell phone starts ringing. It must be Yukito. I dig in my bag, pull out my phone and answer it. "Hello?"

"Kasumi!! It's Yukito. Where are you??" says the voice on the phone.


Tenth Entry

"I have a better question. Where were you???!!! You left me sitting at that cafe for three hours!!! Three Hours!!!!!"

"Kasumi, I can explain, but not now. I need you to meet me at the courner of 21st Street and 7th Avenue in 15 minutes. I have to tell you something important. I think there's a -"

The line went dead. My blood runs cold. Something is definitely not right here. I hope Yukito is ok. I hang up my phone and run into Hisoka's bedroom. He's sitting at a desk staring intently at the computer.
When i run in, he stands up and moves quickly over to me. "Kasumi, what's wrong now? You're pale."

"I think something's happened to Yukito."

Well, maybe you noticed. I would have read it in your journal, but I want you people post. ninja So thanks for posting, anywhere. And, I really like your story.
